Editor's Comments From the "St. Mellons Rose"
Your Councillors have been heavily involved in resisting attempts by the Liberal Democrats to unnecessarily increase Council spending (which increases Council Tax). In Council where no one Political Party has overall control the involvement of every Councillor counts. Additionally many of the early successes achieved by your Councillors before last years election have reached crucial stages and since Labour lost power in the Council a close eye is required on the progress of these projects.
As a result of this increased Council related activity, your Councillors have not been able to deliver both newsletters published since the local elections last June to every part of St. Mellons. The three arease affected will receive back copies of missed newsletters with this edition.
Schools ae very high on the Councillors list of priorities. Some school closures are the likely result of the Lib Dems school re-organisation plan. Your Councllors have already agreed that as children in deprived Wards benefit from attending small school they will be fighting any proposels to close primary schools in St.Mellons and to support Llanrumney and Rumney Councillors in thier effort to protect Rumney and Llanrumney High School.
I hope you enjoy this issue of St. Mellons Labour Rose, comments are welcome.
